(KMZA)--A two-vehicle wreck in Pottawatomie County Monday morning sent two St. George teenagers to the hospital.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened shortly after 7:30 at the intersection of U.S 24 Highway and Flush Road about a ½ mile west of St. George.
The Patrol says 17-year-old Breanna Cheever was northbound on Flush Road when she failed to yield to an eastbound pickup truck on U.S. 24, and the pickup struck her car.
Breanna Cheever was transported to Topeka’s Stormont Vail Hospital with what the Patrol described as disabling injuries.
Her 17-year-old passenger, Brandon Cheever, was transported to Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan with unspecified injuries.
The pickup driver, 56-year-old Manhattan resident David Welton, was not hurt.
The Patrol says all the occupants were buckled up when the wreck occurred.
